Obviously, you don't want to say "I recommend So-and-So" but want to phrase it more artfully. "I'd give So-and-So a call to see if he/she could get on it faster than I'm going to be able to" would work, I'd think.
I send out half the calls to others. Especially if they are in another town.

I received a gold star from my first grade teacher in 1979.
a few years ago I was asked if I would flag a line for timber cutting for $50 (fifty).

With certain people, as the conversation continues, the price continues to increase.

Yeah, if there are only TWO CORNERS on that line and the lot has FOUR, shouldn't your price be half of what a lot survey would cost? :>
Geez, Kent. The guys wants one line. The lot has four sides. It should be one-fourth,.

One-half, one-fourth...does it really matter when you're charging by the hour? 😉
My blood can turn to molasses in my veins when the proper incentive is present.
